My new (to me) ride - Hyper 36 volt electric assist bike (w/added aux. battery, and see photo notes)

A friend and myself were discussing bicycles several days ago, and when the subject of e-bikes came up: turned out he had one he was looking to sell. The one pictured here started as a rather basic model, but my very mechanically-adept friend added an auxiliary battery to extend riding range, and at some point, upgraded the forks and front brakes as well. I think the white forks offset the blue and black (with white logo) frame rather nicely.

I wasn't a big fan of the rather hard plastic seat that was sold with the bike though, so the one pictured here is the first upgrade done by yours truly. And for sure the added rack on the back gives this mountain bike a commuter-bike look, but I'm OK with that, and yes, my new, more cushy seat doesn't exactly add to the mountain bike look and feel either - but oh well!

I only have 3 levels of pedal assist available, but only venture out of low mode on rare occasions anyway (therefore, still getting the benefit of exercise). High mode gives me an embarrassingly ample amount of assist, so hopefully I don't ever get so lazy I only go places in high mode! However, that mode could certainly come in handy if I needed to get somewhere with a quickness. All in all, a very nice upgrade from my older bike, which served me well for nearly 3 years (freakin' little money pit that thing was though, haha)!!
